"Mexican transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), more commonly known as drug traffickers or cartels, sure know how to act like terrorists. They're cutting off people's heads all over Mexico and hanging the decapitated corpses from bridges in plain view. They're assassinating mayors, and kidnapping state governors who don't want to play by the TCOs' rules. They're conducting massacres of innocent Mexicans riding public buses, then burying them in mass graves across northern Mexico.

Yet, these cruel and psychopathic thugs are considered mere criminals by both the US and Mexican governments."
